Default Interior Quality? Fixes for problems?

I have a '99 Grand Prix GTP.. The interior squeeks, rattles, etc etc... Pontiac seems to put out low quality interiors, that's for sure...

I'm about to pick up a Trans Am.. Love the car and the style of the interior.. But does anyone have any major problem with their car rattling and squeeking like hell?

Are there ways to completely kill the problem for good if it comes up? Any common problems with common fixes?

If there are any good links about this, tell me what to search or point me to the thread.. I couldn't find anything. That'd be pretty sweet if we could make a stickied compilation thread.. Nothing but fixes to common interior flaws (that is... if it's anything like my GP)

in a TA some of the interior points youll need to take care of are...the door jams, the ash tray, and just take care of the seats

the door jams will need lithuim grease and youll love yourself for it
the ash tray has a detachable liner that...if you have exhaust, will rattle pretty good...
and if you have the leather seats....make sure you protect them and clean them well
